Over a hundred thousand people took part on Tuesday in the funeral ofRabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel, head of the famed Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem, the largest yeshiva in Israel and second largest in the world.
The revered Rosh Yeshiva was a member of the Torah Council of Sages of Degel HaTorah.
Rabbi Finkel passed away early Tuesday morning at the age of 68, after apparently having suffered aheart attack. During his period as Rosh Yeshiva, the yeshiva expanded greatly and even opened branches in other areas of Israel.
